We are young supernovas, and the heat's about to break.

Fitting, I guess. Great song, great bunch of assholes to start things off against. I hate the Blues, I hate their chintzy Reebok Edge uniforms, I hate their dumbass fans, how they count the goals scored like they need to remind themselves every now and then what comes after "two," the stupid dance they do before power plays, their belligerent fuckhead captain, their sweaty asscrack of a city, their cardboard goo pizza, the interminable Amtrak trip there through oceans of soybeans, HATE HATE HATE IT ALL.

Oshie out. Tarasenko in, all other injured players in. Toews and Kane back in for us. Morin looking like a scratch, go fucking figure.

SEASON NUMBERS
Hawks: 46-21-15 (107), 40-28-14 adjusted (94), 100.304 expected

Hawks: 261 goals scored (2nd), 212 goals allowed (12th), +49 (4th)
Blues: 239 goals scored (6th), 188 goals allowed (3rd), +51 (3rd)

Hawks: 50/257 on the power play (19.5%, 10th), 202/248 on the penalty kill (81.4%, 19th)

Season series: Blues win, Blues win SO, Blues win SO, Hawks win, Hawks win
Blues win the series 3-2, Blues take six points, Hawks take six points

Away we go!

_________________

Hawks in an easy 5 or Hawks in a grueling 'hit by a bus' 7... Either way I think they win the series, just hoping they dont get killed whilst doing so.

_________________

I think the Blues will win. They're the better team, and it's looking more and more like the rash of injuries was timed perfectly or a clever ruse.

_________________

Yeah lets hope this doesnt repeat last years Kings Blues tilt where the winner got its ass kicked so bad they had nothing left for the next round. Blackhawk in 6.

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

The Kings also went through the Sharks in seven after that, then they arrived to the Hawks series running on empty.

I predict Toews and Kane will look lost and feeble in at least the first game. Blues win this first game handily.

_________________

I don't think the Blues are the better team.

Hawks got this.

Hawks, Hawks, and Hawks. They'll be some rust for both sides.....but Ryan Miller sucks.

Kane starting on the third line with Bickell and Shaw, Toews on the first with Versteeg on the left and Saad on the right, unless reporters are dyslexic. Oh, Q!

_________________

I would have agreed a few months ago but right now I dont think so. As to your second point, why would they want to be playing the Hawks first instead of the Stars?

_________________

Im in a first goal scored pool. I have Leddy in Game 1. If the Blues score first it rolls over and I get Saad


With that said, GO HAWKS

Dunno about Versteeg on the 1st line.

Hawks win 8-1

_________________

I think Morin sitting and Handzus playing is an error. Blues play the type of game the Hawks hate plus timing will be off with Kane and the Captain coming back after a layoff. I'm back

I'm going to bounce from the spot for awhile but I will be back at some point to argue with you about this hoops stuff again. Playoffs have been great this season. See ya up the road.

I'm out.

I agree with you. And fuck you.

Handzus is pretty much dead at this point, there's no logical reason for him to be playing anymore.

I'm way too tense right now. I just hate this fucking team so much for so long and now it's been 12 years since they kicked our ass in the playoffs with Pronger and company. I'm gonna have an aneurysm by game Game 3.

So much misguided hate towards the Red Wings for all these years when our true enemy was in Shit Louis. I tried to inform the masses! They didn't listen!

I am here just in the nick of time from lacrosse game.

That fucking bell.

Just fucking kill yourself, Handzus

He should cut off his penis first. Assuming he has one.
